The Raw Truth: Why Natural Feeding Just Works

Why Feed Raw?

At Lancashire Dog Treats, we believe that dogs thrive on a species-appropriate diet — one that mirrors what nature intended. Raw feeding is more than a trend; it’s a return to the natural, biologically-appropriate way of nourishing our canine companions.

What is Raw Feeding?

Raw feeding simply means feeding dogs a diet based on raw meat, bones, offal and some fruit and vegetables. It avoids highly processed foods, synthetic additives, and unnecessary fillers. The aim is to replicate the diet dogs would naturally consume in the wild.

Benefits of a Raw Diet

🦷 Healthier Teeth & Gums

Crunching on raw meaty bones naturally cleans teeth, reducing tartar build-up and freshening breath — no toothbrush required!

💩 Smaller, Less Smelly Stools

A raw diet is highly digestible. Dogs absorb more nutrients and waste less, resulting in firmer, smaller, less odorous stools.

🐾 Improved Skin & Coat

Natural fats and high-quality proteins contribute to shinier coats and itch-free skin, often eliminating the need for expensive supplements.

💪 Lean Muscle & Energy

With the right balance of protein and fat, raw-fed dogs maintain optimal weight and energy levels, supporting an active lifestyle.

🧠 Behaviour & Focus

Many owners report improvements in their dogs' behaviour, focus, and mental clarity once transitioned to a raw diet — no more post-meal crashes or hyperactivity.

What’s in a Raw Diet?

A balanced raw diet typically includes:

  • Muscle meat: The foundation of every meal.

  • Edible bone: A natural source of calcium and minerals.

  • Organ meat: Nutrient-rich and vital for internal health.

  • Optional extras: Seasonal veg, herbs, oily fish, and natural supplements.

Our raw meals and natural treats are carefully sourced, balanced, and portioned — so you can feed with confidence.

Isn’t Raw Feeding Dangerous?

With proper sourcing and handling, raw feeding is no riskier than preparing meat in your own kitchen or having an open bag of kibble. We follow strict hygiene standards and only use high-quality, DEFRA-approved suppliers to ensure your dog’s meals are safe, balanced, and beneficial. We specifically try and use companies that use British and Irish meat where we can.
